ion reaction, after the ZPE contributions are included there is no barrier in the effective potential along the reaction coordinate, so important variational effects are expected. Both VMEP and the vibrationally adiabatic potential are plotted along the path in Figure 1. At room temperature the maximum of the free energy (see eq 2.4.36) is located at s* CVT ) -0.364 a0, whereas s* μVT is energy...
